Talent!

[@Synthesizer_Explorations]

the pace of your videos, the time spent on showing workflow and detail, is perfect. Very useful. Thanks 😀

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thank you very much

[@trevorrothwell5565]

You may say that you're not an artist, but you've sure got the knack of creating wonderful pictures! A most instructive and entertaining video - thank you

@@trevorrothwell5565 thank you very much

Nice watching…. You make it look so simple, although I know it isn’t. So often you can see wonderful layouts with the same mass produced back scenes which catches the eye, instead of being a nondescript entity that’s just there. Brilliant job.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Cheers, I've used photo Backscenes In the past but as soon as you put it up you notice the same ones all over the place.

Great video David. That was very inspirational and relaxing. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks Roy

[@barra8771]

Wow, you made it look so easy, it looks very professional.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thank you very much

[@kevindevine7597]

That is a really impressive effort, well done.

Oil painter here, you've managed to do a beautiful 3D landscape and landscape painters like me are put to shame.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

@@user-fk8hr6gv6g thank you very much, just trying my best

[@JockeB70]

Very nice!!!

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thank you! Cheers!

Your intro is visually an improvement, easier on the eye. I admire your skills. Painting has never been one of mine unless it's a ceiling. Nice one, David

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks mate, I will create a completley new version in due course but for now I'll put ransom clips over the flashing part

Good one David, cheers for sharing. Said before, I was happy with my simple work until I saw yours so intrigued to see your methods.

[@Ruggedrails]

Great video will use the information on my new backscene but not the music 🤣👍😀

[@kenfox7917]

Very good video, the background does add an illusion of depth to the layout. Blue paint, I think, is Screwfix No Nonsense line, but but sure Wicks must do something similar. 😂

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks. You're right about the paint 😂 I've spent so much at both shops I forgot what I bought where.

[@kenfox7917]

I've only got a Screwfix locally, so I don't have your problem though sometimes I wish I did. When I was living in London I was surrounded by big DIY stores... Out here in the sticks choice is limited.. Then again I would not swap present location for the city. 😊

[@FredWilbury]

Excellent time for me to try and get in the railway shed and do some more work on my backscenes. Shed having a renovation at moment.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Never a bad time for railway work.

[@Tommo140265]

Background looks fantastic, have you been watching Bob Ross?

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

He may have provided some inspiration 😂

[@czerskip]

Look great as paintings. The problem with most backdrops is absurd perspective that only makes sense from ground level. Otherwise, the layout is looked at from bird view while the backdrop makes no sense at all (like your smoke stacks) thus breaking the illusion.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

I do tend to agree with you. This is somewhat alleviated by using a lighting pelmet that forces the viewer down towards track level. I. E. If you're stood at full height the lighting rig gets in the way forcing you to duck down or sit on a chair to get the best view.

Hi David! We like your content very much. Are you interested in 3D scanners? we can cooperate on Creality scanners. Looking forward to your reply!

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

@@cherrycici8272 what's the catch?!
